This invention concerns a light tower (10) having a main body (12) and a mast (26) extending from the main body (12) such that the mast (26) is extendable between a retracted configuration and at least one extended configuration. A lighting unit (34) is mounted to the mast (26). Supports (44), such as legs, are arranged to support the main body in use. Sensors (56) are provided for monitoring the load distribution of the light tower (10) between the supports (44). A controller (64) is configured to alter the load distribution of the light tower (10) according to a comparison between the monitored load distribution and a predetermined acceptable load distribution range.

A portable lighting assembly includes a cart that may be rolled along a support surface. A bracket is coupled to the cart. A lighting unit is movably coupled to the bracket. The lighting unit is positioned at a selected orientation with respect to the panel. Thus, the lighting unit may emit light in the selected orientation with respect to the panel.

A hybrid light tower includes an engine, a generator configured to be driven by the engine, a battery pack, a mast, and a light assembly including a plurality of light emitting diodes. The generator is configured to produce a first DC power. The battery pack is directly electrically coupled to the generator to receive the first DC power from the generator to charge the battery pack. The light assembly is coupled to the mast and the light emitting diodes electrically coupled to the battery pack to receive a second DC power from the battery pack.

A portable lighting apparatus including a lamp assembly that is adjustably adapted to be suspended from and secured to the side rails of a livestock grooming stand or chute, or alternately to an articulated lamp stand, to shed diffused light downward on an animal occupying the grooming stand or chute. The lamp assembly includes a rigid housing in which is received a weatherproof lighting fixture and an adjustable bracket mechanism for suspending the assembly from the side rails or lamp stand. The lamp stand includes a position-adjustable hangar assembly for supporting the lamp assembly, a base, and a set of support arms that can be collapsed to a transport position for ease of transport and storage.
